Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don't understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don't even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so diverse. I want to feel like I know what's going on but I don't. Coding is the future and the future is now and I am lagging severely behind. I guess I'm asking where a bumbling novice like me can learn more about where to start when it comes to programming.

Free course, C# is a genuine pleasure to work in/learn. Runs in all OS environments, and is probably the most modern “general” language

Only way to learn is to start learning

Is C# really that nice to work in? I'm looking to expand my horizons past JS now that I feel fairly comfortable with one language.

I always prescribe learning Python over basically any other language (unless you're gonna start doing some real low-level computing). It's a much more relevant and popular language. C# isn't irrelevant, you'll just see Python used way more often. Python will also compliment JS much more.
